Subject: x86: cpu_init(): fix memory leak when using CPU hotplug
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc6~23^2
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=23952a96ae738277f3139b63d622e22984589031;p=linux-2.6

x86: cpu_init(): fix memory leak when using CPU hotplug

Exception stacks are allocated each time a CPU is set online.
But the allocated space is never freed. Thus with one CPU hotplug
offline/online cycle there is a memory leak of 24K (6 pages) for
a CPU.

Fix is to allocate exception stacks only once -- when the CPU is
set online for the first time.
